Residents of the town of Chappell wanted a childcare center to help support families in their community.  With a great deal of community support from the Miller Memorial Nursing Home, the Thomas Buckley Trust and local residents, the childcare center was created in the lower floor of the nursing home.  Volunteers of America — Western Nebraska was asked to sponsor the childcare center.  The Center is licensed for 25 children through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and accepts children from 6 weeks of age to 9 years.

The loving care of staff provides a safe and caring environment for small children.  Staff and the center are supported by an advisory board that oversee the center and raise funds to keep the center open and purchase new equipment and toys.
